Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law relates the net force <em>F</em> on an object of mass <em>m </em>with the acceleration <em>a</em> it experiments by <em>F=ma.</em> In our case the net force is the friction force, since it's the only one the skier is experimenting horizontally and the vertical ones cancel out since he's not moving in that direction. Our acceleration then will be:
Also, acceleration is defined by the change of velocity in a given time t, so we have:
Since we want the change in velocity, <em>mixing both equations</em> we conclude that:
Which for our values means:
Answer:
a = 156.14 m/s^2
Explanation:
Using the laws of newton:
∑F = ma
where ∑F is the sumatory of forces, m the mass and a the aceleration.
so:
F - = ma
where F is the force from the hockey stick and is the force of friction.
Replacing values, we get:
(30.2N) - (3.5N)= (0.171kg)a
Finally, solving for a:
a = 156.14 m/s^2
